In celebration of a milestone occasion, internationally renowned UK-born pop artist Peter Phillips – contemporary of David Hockney and counterpart of Andy Warhol –  will inaugurate his newly-constructed gallery during the 2019 Noosa Food & Wine Festival.

An exhibition of works spanning the course of his influential six-decade career will be launched on Saturday 18 May when guests will sip FREEMAN Prosecco 2018 with  canapes by acclaimed Brisbane chef Josh Lopez, best known for his role at the lauded two-hat GOMA restaurant.

We think the award-winning FREEMAN Prosecco minimalist gold star label may appeal to this icon of the international arts world!

‘Pound for pound right up there with best value/best rosé from Australia (or anywhere ?!)’ 

MIKE BENNIE, WINEFRONT 94 POINTS

 

Good start to the New Year for FREEMAN Rondo Rosé 2017 !

Bennie adds:

‘Lovely, pretty perfume with just a hint of candied sweetness amongst watermelon, red cherry, savoury spice. Delicious flavours, straight up, a melange of cherry, cranberry, sweet and sourness in perfect measure, a lick of spice and tangy freshness to close. Loads of character and freshness. This is great. ‘

And the plaudits continue…

Herald Sun wine writer Tony Love had this to say about trophy-winning FREEMAN Sangiovese 2016.

‘This drop strikes an impressive earthy savouriness meshed with classic dark cherry and dried herbs, the profile building while balancing well as you sip and sip and sip — yep it’s that kind of more-ish gastronomic style that gained it the trophy for best Italian varietal at the 2017 Hilltops Show.’

FREEMAN Sangiovese 2016 keeps turning heads – and palates. The Italian Varietal Trophy Winner at the Hilltops Wine Show 2017 has worked its charms on Winefront’s Campbell Mattinson who scored it 93 POINTS and wrote:

‘It’s distinctive. The cherried flavours have an overt sweetness…we have spice, licorice, molasses and coffee ground notes…There’s tannin, refreshing acidity and a long drawn out aspect to the finish; it spreads and runs at the business end of the wine, always a good sign, and it does it here in dry style. It’s very good. It’s easy to see what had the show judges excited.’
